The Deborah Harry song catalog you find on this page was compiled by me, the webmaster, with the help of my personal record collection, booklets, biographies, setlists, ASCAP, the LoC (Library of Congress), articles and (live) bootlegs. It's my goal to create a page which features Deborah's complete musical body of work, no matter if Deborah was in any way musically involved herself or whether she contributed her own lyrics to a project. In order to keep up the standard of this page and to make it grow you can help by submitting song titles and/or information which are missing on this site. Every contribution is greatly appreciated. Official song lyrics were taken from booklets. I transcribed those songs myself where no official lyrics were available (with no guarantee for their accuracy). I apologize for possible errors and will gladly take corrections. I kindly ask you not to copy any of these lyrics from this page.
All song pages include links to the albums, singles and/or live albums which they were released on. Best Ofs and soundtracks were only listed if there is a special mix available on the record or the song title itself was previously unreleased.

THE LITTLE PEOPLE

Yes I thought today would never cross your mind that you could really leave the thoughts you had behind but now I see you've given things a chance that you were taught did not deserve the least bit of attention you could gather

It's so good to see you've found your springtime dreams I'd thought you had forgotten how it seemed while sitting in the countryside not one plan fell from the tree beside you or fear the sun would wake us next day's morning

And so the little people keep on passing by to keep their hearts they cut it closer to the line oh I'll try so hard not to hold in bitter thoughts that time could fold in on me on some unexpecting day but still I'll have to ask again just why little people travel such a painful trustless empty fearful whirlpools pass for islands kind of life

Now something we cannot pretend to own trusts us to understand a word like home without the slightest hesitation be your freed imagination miracles are worth your least believing

And so the little people keep on passing by to keep their hearts they cut it closer to the line oh I'll try so hard not to hold in bitter thoughts that time could fold in on me on some unexpecting day but still I'll have to ask again just why little people travel such a painful trustless empty fearful whirlpools pass for islands kind of life

Without the slightest hesitation be your freed imagination miracles are worth your least believing

And when someone say you know you'll soon get older do you take a sudden glance across your shoulder to see your shadow smiling back at you surprised it still believes in being near you why tear apart the things you chose to please you
